MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Reece Hodge will make his first Wallabies start of the year when Australia take on Argentina in the Rugby Championship on Saturday after getting the nod over James O'Connor at fullback for the Townsville test.

Hodge replaces the injured Tom Banks, while Rob Leota gets his first test start at blindside flanker in the only changes to the starting side that secured the second of back-to-back wins over world champions South Africa last weekend.
